The JSONParser is just a default parser that returns nested
dictionaries and ordered collections of literal types. It is supposed
to be subclassed for specific uses to instantiate real objects. The
parser is new in Seaside 2.9, so there are no users. I plan to use it
to serialize Javascript event objects and make it much simpler to get
the event properties to Seaside.

Cheers,
Lukas
